Doesn't look like a memory issue - try running /scripts/upcp and see if that resolves the issue - if not you will probably just want to open a ticket with cPanel so they can diagnose the issue directly.

In addition to checking the cPanel error_log I would also look through the system cron log to see if there are any specific cron jobs that are executed around the same time as seen in the reported failure notices; there may or may not be a direct correlation but it often helps to check in case anything unusual is discovered. Here is the full path where the cron log is usually located:

And everytime the service check starts i get this line:
Service Check Started
[2010-03-26 13:38:52 +0000] Service check ....syslogd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...sshd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...spamd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/$
Service Check Finished

Hi,
The cron log file has the logs only for the last 3 days. The last error that i got was 5 days ago...so there is nothing in there.....

Try looking in a previous copy of the cron log, such as one rotated by logrotate:

Code:

# find /var/log/cron*

There may be older copies with names similar to "cron.1" or "cron.1.gz" (either with or without gzip-compression, depending on the logrotate configuration); the number will increment each time logrotate rotates the log file (where a lower number is more recent and a higher number is older).

If you see a gzip-compressed rotated copy of the cron log, try "zless" to view and search through the contents:

And everytime the service check starts i get this line:
Service Check Started
[2010-03-26 13:38:52 +0000] Service check ....syslogd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...sshd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/A]]...spamd [[check command:+][tcp connect:N/$
Service Check Finished

Can you figure out anything strange???

Thanx in advance!

I do not see a failure indicated in the chkservd log entries that are provided. If a failure is indicated there will be a minus sign "-" instead of a plus sign "+" and if applicable in the case of a failure it may be followed by an attempted restart of the affected service or daemon.

There is one aspect of the information I am not accustomed to seeing in the chkservd log:
